The data on the large chart varies significantly across different parts of the square. It would be scientifically incorrect to correct the averages of actual observations on the large chart at present. These should be printed with only instrumental corrections, and the mean hour of the day and the mean day of the month of each average should be given. Otherwise, the results of the discussion cannot be used for strict scientific purposes. However, when discussing the data on the large chart to understand the distribution of pressure over this important part of the ocean, it is necessary to apply approximate corrections for range. Fitzroy's corrections, which Mr. Symons refers to, are among the most valuable. Disregarding the correction for range would be a grave mistake, and the Meteorological Committee is unlikely to sanction such a discussion.
Fitzroy recognized the importance of range corrections, and a monograph was published under his direction over eleven years ago. It would be beneficial if a series of such monographs were prepared under the direction of the Meteorological Committee as necessary preliminaries for the discussion of the meteorology of each portion of the ocean they undertake to discuss.
Rainfall at Barbados: Heavy rains over continents drained by large rivers can lead to an influx of fresh water along the southern coast, causing sea eggs to crawl ashore and die. This phenomenon has not been observed before. The rainfall in the basins drained by the Orinoco and Amazon rivers is not known, but Barbados and other islands have been experiencing a prolonged drought. The quality of the water may have been affected to a great distance, but no one has tested the density or quality of the water.
Treatise on Probability: The "Treatise on Probability" was published in 1844 under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It was written by Sir John William Lubbock and J. E. Drinkwater. The treatise was one of the best on the subject at the time. It is referenced in several works, including the English Cyclopedia and the History of Probability.
The Hawaiian Volcano, Mauna Loa: A party visited the summit of Mauna Loa, which is currently in a state of fearful activity. The crater is increasing in action and reflects a light of unusual brilliancy. The crater in Kilanea has been very irregular in its action, leading to the supposition that the two alternate.The data on the large chart varies significantly across different parts of the square.
